Jacqueline Cochran County Airport Gets New Entry Sign

THERMAL – The Jacqueline Cochran Regional Airport has an updated and improved entrance to welcome visitors to Thermal.

The Aviation Division of the Riverside County Transportation & Land Management Agency, which manages the county airport, installed a new monument sign and has substantial landscaping planned around the main entrance.

Supervisor V. Manuel Perez allocated county funding for the improvements to enhance the look of the airport as people come in to Thermal. Supervisor Perez also sees the possibility of major growth to come in the future.

“The Jacqueline Cochran Regional Airport serves the Coachella Valley region and is one of our county assets and a key to our economic development future,” said Supervisor Perez. “I have sought to champion updating this airport, and this is an investment. The new and beautiful signage modernizes the entrance to our Jacqueline Cochran Regional Airport in the Thermal community.”

Twenty damaged palm trees will be replaced beginning next week. Additional landscaping will be implemented in the fall/winter after the summer heat.
